unlimitED! is an experimental editor, and an excuse to learn the Rust language.

Warning: It is in the alpha stage and not suited for daily work.

Features

• [x] basic utf-8 support
• [x] unlimited undo/redo
• [x] large file support
• [x] simple search
• [x] goto line
• [x] highlight keywords (hack, this is not syntax highlighting)
• [x] mouse selection

Compiling

Minimum requirement : Rust edition 2018

git clone https://github.com/carl-erwin/unlimited
 or
git clone https://gitlab.com/carl-erwin/unlimited

cd unlimited
cargo install --path .

Running

by default cargo install puts the compiled program in ${HOME}/.cargo/bin

User Input Handling

The keyboard/mouse shortcuts are currently hard-coded

(see res/default_input_map.json)

Goals

Ultimately remove all limitations found in common editors.

• [x] handle large files
• [ ] handle directories
• [ ] handle very-long lines
• [ ] provide a C API to handle basic primitives
• [ ] an interactive "configurator" mode to customize a view
